This is the Ron Paul position and its a solid one.

The non-intervention principle applies if you are not actively suffering intervention.

The flaw however, is that applying non-intervention in this instance, is choosing to ignore the real, direct hurt currently endured by non-actors (LATAM + US citizens) from the policies of Maduro.

I do concede that whatever follows Maduro, may be worse.

If I'm getting poked by a neighbor for years and i finally punch back, punching is a valid response. If the neighbor then comes back later and shoots me with a gun, it doesn't mean that my self-defense act was invalid.
